Kim Kardashian is now legally Single
Kim Kardashian dropped her married name from her social media handles just 24 hours after being declared legally single from rapper Kanye West.
After returning to her maiden name on Instagram and Twitter after six years of marriage, the reality star, 41, received a flood of support from fans.
On Wednesday, a Los Angeles judge granted her request to to become legally single while issues of child custody and property are worked out.
Judge Steve Cochran granted her request to have her maiden name restored, and he denied West’s motion to prevent Kardashian from transferring assets out of trusts set up during the marriage.
The feuding couple, both billionaires, had their high powered attorneys in court Wednesday: Laura Wasser for Kardashian and Samantha Spector for West. Spector was only appointed last night after West fired his previous lawyer.
Kardashian’s new legal status means that West is also legally single, and a source close to the rapper claimed that he also wants the divorce to proceed, though that doesn’t align with his delay tactics in court or his public statements about trying to get his wife back.
